Official blazon

Unter goldenem Schildhaupt, darin eine liegende schwarze Hirschstange, in Schwarz zwei schräggekreuzte goldene Spindeln.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on November 27, 1949.

The colours as well as the deer antler refer to Württemberg, as the area historically was part of the Duchy. The spindles refer to the local textile industries.
